Behavior

This scorpion is quite nervous and can display defensively. It should not be kept communally, as fights and cannibalism are frequent. The toxicity of its venom is usually deemed to be low, though its sting can be quite painful.

gollark: True, but that restricts placement a lot.
gollark: Except it's really just useless work which also restricts you to the overworld or maybe nether.
gollark: As I previously said, I disagree with EIO5's "balance" choices.
gollark: Also, the blizz powder is annoying to get; my pack's got no custom spawny stuff except the RFTools ones.
gollark: How? Redstone's not free.
